I laughed at the first two, and quivered just a bit at the ending of the third. But the painting of the owl is immensely appealing. It seems to be in process, and I suspect it will only improve. And it’s clear you love that yellow lab, despite it all.

No boredom here. After a fairly placid afternoon, we’ve got multiple tornadoes and a flash flood emergency — only the second ever issued. Four to six inches of rain an hour, etc. Lots of flooding, and worse to come overnight. Want to see some amazing lightning? Look at the first video in this thread. Goodness me!

It is Sunday here and I have breached the precondition of these verses. But I don’t care! They are packed with interest and enough to shake a jelly dessert out of its boredom.

Texting gives the impression of time being too short to bother about disturbing the recipient, who is obliged to reply immediately. It’s all a myth and an excuse to be superficial, inhuman and unfeeling.
Idris was an old British drinks company taken over by BritVic. It advertised in cinemas wth the Slogan Idris when I’s Dri, ultimately deemed non-PC.

I don’t believe the NHS accepts rugs for cleaning, even for beloved Dinahs. I could always try, though. The NHS slogan is free at the point of delivery … Hence it is in dire financial straits despite the largesse of the taxpayer.

OO-OO-OO, yes! The barn owl waits still and wise for the quick, silent, bloody, lethal swoop – delivering the fate of the bored. I have the uneasy feeling I might be on his menu. Everything comes to him who waits. I must keep busy.

Awe, I don’t like texting, and the fact that I can’t hear or see the other person’s inflections.
What an interesting painting, our barn owls are deadly, but much lighter colored ( a dark cream) than yours.

I don’t text quickly and often wait until I return home to use my keyboard to reply on email. When I see how fast these kids text, I am amazed!

I took some artistic license with the owl’s face. Ours, too have, white faces and shoulders but their body feathers are almost as dark. The painting is not done yet. The forest on the left of the owl box is yet to be finished and the feathering on the wings is not done. I paint in layers, so several layers left to go.

Thank you, wk. I am working on your zen statement. Today, when I went to yoga, my black yoga pants “somehow” attracted yellow dog hair. I figured there in the studio named “OM” it was a good time to heed your words.
